Cot One Convertible Insulated

Lite Cot is designed primarily for backpacking where weight is of critical importance. It features press-fit leg frames that are different to Cot One's lever lock frames. The bed tension level on Cot One is higher than Lite Cot for this reason.

The innovative levers on Cot One provide an easy way to tension the bed surface without the need for bulky diagonal braces. The levers lock into place creating a taunt, even sleeping surface.

Cot One is 74.5 x 26.5 inches or 190 x 68 cm and Cot One Long is 82.5 x 26.5 inches or 210 x 68 cm.

Cot One models each support 320 pounds or 145 kilograms.

Cot One's bed surface is 6.3 inches or 16 cm off the ground. This increases to 15 inches or 38 cm with the optional extension leg kit.

If this happens, you've likely assembled the cross-bar upside down. Take note of the 'This Side Up' marking on the cross-bar – this should point to the sky when the cot is assembled. The leg frame should arch up in the middle with the nylon hubs as the lowest parts of the frame.

Yes, that can possibly happen. If your tent is on hard ground and you toss and turn during the night, the resulting movement of the cot feet on the tent floor can cause damage. In this situation it is worth placing some extra padding between the cot and the tent floor.

Not normally, but this depends on personal preference and climate. Some people with a slim build find the extra padding of self-inflating mattress adds to the comfort level.
